"I often wear nude heels and wedges—they really do make legs look longer. I also take spinning and kickboxing classes regularly, and I swear by Sarah McNamara Miracle Skin Transformer Body ($34; sephora.com); it's like a foundation for your legs, plus it has sunscreen, which I wear head to toe."

"I live in New York City, so I walk everywhere, and I take the subway, which means I go up and down stairs a lot. I also hit the gym about three times a week and use the step machine. All that really helps, though I also owe my legs to good genes."

"When I was younger, I was embarrassed about having super-muscular legs, but I've come to love them. At 4-foot-11, I'm vigilant about working out because even two extra pounds can look like five or 10. I love Latin and belly dancing, which keep my legs lean. As for moisturizer, I D.I.Y.—warm coconut oil!"

"I used to shave every single day, but laser hair removal changed my life—my legs are so much smoother now. The best compliment I get on my legs is from my daughters. I love to run, so when they see me finish a race, they tell me, 'Mom, your legs are so strong.'"
